California Pizza Kitchen Family Cookbook

I have been making pizza using the thin crust recipe and the simple sauce recipe in this book and they have been outstanding. The key with any at home pizza is using a good quality pizza stone and an oven that can get high temps. I have an oven that goes to 550 and that combined with an 1 inch thick stone, this recipe works great with this setup. It is really a simple recipe and is ready in a couple of hours. The dough you can get very thin and is very flavorful. Overall, this book has lots of good pizza recipes that use a couple of different base crusts. I highly recommend this book if you want to start to make pizza at home that tastes like what you get at the restaurant.

This is a really boring book filled with recipes for food that they do not have at the restaurant. I suppose it's useful if you have kids and want them to help in the kitchen, or for kids birthday parties, but otherwise there are no useful recipes. The other two CPK books are much better and have the recipes they use at the restaurant and recipes you would actually want to try.

This cook book has simple to follow recipes that result in great tasting dishes. My son loves to eat at CPK and I thought I would but the cook book to allow me to cook his favorite dishes at home. If you like to eat at CPK you will love the results of this cook book.

This book was a gift. The core objective was to recreate CPK's pizza dough.Followed the directions to a "T". End result was a soupy gloopy mess. Only after reading the other one star Amazon review, it became clear the recipe was incorrect. The dough was off by two cups of flour.Shame on California Pizza Kitchen for their poor quality control on lack of business ethics.Stay away from this book. You will find better results online.

I bought the book for the Avacado club egg rolls. I have made them and they are awesome! There seems to be an error about the pizza dough but some books have a correction. See other comments. Love mine but only really wanted the one recipe.
